Great park, but super busy almost all the time. Lots of geese and geese poop - frustrating walking a dog who loves to eat it! Be sure to stay in the pedestrian lane, bikers will let you know (not always nicely) if you're in the wrong lane.
Really nice walk around a very pretty park. The best part, if you like this sort of thing, was looking at all the amazing homes around the park! It was a beautiful morning!

The best family park!!!!
I have jogged and ridden this trail many times. just make sure if you ride it, you stay in the bike lane! Otherwise pedestrians will yell at you!
Perfection in the city
I wanted to take my two dogs for a walk... this walk ended up being well over an hour maybe even two. Washington Park is large, great location, a beautiful lake and a lot of activities and action going on.
Excellent inner city graveled walk/run option.
The lakes here are pretty and there are plenty of fowl. The surrounding traffic is quite noisy though and it is hard to escape the feeling of cars being on top of you.
My favorite place to take a long walk during the summer. There is a small fishing pond that would be great for kids. Nice to choose from an inner or outer trail depending on how much time I have. Stroller, wheelchair, and definitely kid friendly park
2.5 miles around wash park. People with dogs are not considerate at this park. Nonetheless pretty area to get a quick run in.
Nice chill gravel trail. Always nice scenery to look at.
Beautiful place to walk or run. Can get rather busy.
hiking
This trail is not a hiking or mountain biking trail. It is a city park trail that is mostly paved and well-maintained. Plenty of trees. It is great for bikes and roller blades with some really nice bike lanes separated from the walking lanes. It is a great place to run or walk, to ride bikes within city limits. There are two small lakes (looks like maybe paddle boarding is an option) and a fishing pond. Plenty of grass for volleyball or other activities, and some tennis courts. If you are expecting mountain/hiking this is not what you'll want. But if you want a great area within the city to get some exercise, it is a good choice.
Great to walk, jog, or sit in the park by the water.
Great Denver park
Easy walk.
well-shaded in many parts as I walked it midday.
Will definitely do it again as it is convenient & close to home, but it isn't exactly a challenging course/path.
flat, mostly gravel trail that crosses some biking and driving areas. the views around Wash park are great
Great trees, scenery, and people.
Lots of people but we saw a cormorant! Cool park for an urban outing. But urban outings aren't the best.
saw 1st bald eagle in the wild
It's a great trail to people watch and take an easy stroll.
Nice park for a walk.
Lots of activity. Great short loop for waking or running.

Beautiful area, full of life and activity. My wife and I frequent this little local spot for a relaxing walk!
December 28, 2014, 1 PM: There is plenty of parking and the trails were cleared of the snowfall from a few days before. Though the amenities were closed for the winter, porta-potties were available. You'll want to bring your own sanitizer. We walked around the park with a stroller. Total walk was about 4 miles.
There are several different paths one could take to adjust the length of their hike/jog/run. Several runners and joggers were seen today, and we even came across one man wearing snowshoes.
